x2go.sftpserver module¶

For sharing local folders via sFTP/sshfs Python X2Go implements its own sFTP server (as end point of reverse forwarding tunnel requests). Thus, Python X2Go does not need a locally installed SSH daemon on the client side machine.

The Python X2Go sFTP server code was originally written by Richard Murri, for further information see his website: http://www.richardmurri.com

class x2go.sftpserver.X2GoRevFwSFTPChannelThread(channel, remote=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: x2go.rforward.X2GoRevFwChannelThread

class x2go.sftpserver.X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP(server_port, ssh_transport, auth_key=None, session_instance=None, logger=None, loglevel=56)[source]¶

Bases: x2go.rforward.X2GoRevFwTunnel

A reverse fowarding tunnel with an sFTP server at its endpoint. This blend of a Paramiko/SSH reverse forwarding tunnel is used to provide access to local X2Go client folders from within the the remote X2Go server session.

run()[source]¶

This method gets run once an x2go.sftpserver.X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP has been started with its start() method. Use X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP.stop_thread() to stop the reverse forwarding tunnel again (refer also to its pause() and resume() method).

X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP.run() waits for notifications of an appropriate incoming Paramiko/SSH channel (issued by X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP.notify()). Appropriate in this context means, that its starting point on the X2Go server matches the class’s property server_port.

Once a new incoming channel gets announced by the notify() method, a new x2go.sftpserver.X2GoRevFwSFTPChannelThread instance will be initialized. As a data stream handler, the function x2go_rev_forward_sftpchannel_handler() will be used.

The channel will last till the connection gets dropped on the X2Go server side or until the tunnel gets paused by an X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP.pause() call or stopped via the X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP.stop_thread() method.

x2go.sftpserver.x2go_rev_forward_sftpchannel_handler(chan=None, auth_key=None, logger=None)[source]¶

Handle incoming sFTP channels that got setup by an x2go.sftpserver.X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP instance.

The channel (and the corresponding connections) close either …

• … if the connecting application closes the connection and thus, drops the sFTP channel, or
• … if the x2go.sftpserver.X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP parent thread gets paused. The call of X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP.pause() on the instance can be used to shut down all incoming tunneled SSH connections associated to this x2go.sftpserver.X2GoRevFwTunnelToSFTP instance from within a Python X2Go application.

Parameters:	chan (paramiko.Channel instance) – an incoming sFTP channel (Default value = None) auth_key (paramiko.RSAKey instance) – Paramiko/SSH RSAkey object that has to be authenticated against by the remote sFTP client (Default value = None) logger (X2GoLogger instance) – you must pass an x2go.log.X2GoLogger object to this handler method (Default value = None)
